Hey guys,
I know you've heard questions like this, but I've got a Crate CMX32 mixer. I was curious as to how much better my sound would be if I upgraded my preamps from onboard to something like a DMP3. I'm a little wary of a cheap "tube" pre (starved plate), so I will probably buy a Groove Tubes brick or something similar when I get some more money, but I just need a clean preamp for right now. Would a lower-priced solid-state pre be worth the investment over the mixer's onboard pres? Thanks for any help, hope the question made sense.
